Default Engine rattling

So I start my car sunday night, and it starts rattling above 4k. Maybe a valve is bent or something. Does Honda offer any type of engine warranty? It's a 2002 with only 45000 miles on it. I've only put 4k miles on this car, if the engine is cooked, I'm screwed! Has this happened to anyone else?

Well turns out I spun a rod cylinder #2. Honda won't cover it. 45000 miles. Never overrevved it. What a POS. I'm never buying a Honda again.

Engines just dont give out. Some point in time there was extreme abuse or starvation of oil
